How to set a cover image

When you generate a brand new article using BlitzBear, a cover image will automatically be generated along with it. BlitzBear will search Unsplash using a relevant search term to find the best matching image.

The BlitzBear Unsplash integration saves you time searching for and finding cover images so that you don't have to visit the Unsplash website manually to perform those actions. You can also download the image right from BlitzBear.
